"They" are already working from that gag below to make, high
density and ultra fast, next generation memory chips, by using
the trapped light energy to create charge pair separation to store
the information. Thanks for the post, though, Sam. --- hanson

LIGHT MY PHOTONIC CRYSTAL
"Circuits of light" are the dream. Researchers hope photonic chips
will someday process light signals faster than today's chips can
handle electronic ones and zeros. In the Rapid Communications
section of the October Physical Review E, researchers describe a
method for adding light-emitting elements in a precise way to a
future photonic circuit. They filled a small hole in a silicon wafer
with tiny chunks of fluorescent semiconductor and imaged the pattern
of light that was generated. The technique permits easy removal and
replacement of the particles and offers a way of creating photonic
structures that include light emitters set out in some desired
pattern.
